Yes, this place is in Pasar Lereng nya Bukittinggi. In Los Lambuang, we can eat typical food of Bukittingi City. Here we can eat ampiang sago, kapau rice, gulai pensi and others. Kapau rice is almost the same as Padang rice in general, but there is a slight difference, kapau rice in the dish is more vegetables that are goulashed compared to side dishes in Padang rice, for the price is quite affordable.
